Description

TECHNICAL FIELD |0001] The present disclosure relates to the technical field of plungers, and particularly relates to a novel toilet plunger. BACKGROUND |0002| In daily life, a commonly used toilet plunger includes a handle and a rubber sucker. An opening of the rubber sucker is usually circular and has a relatively large diameter. However, a diameter of a drain outlet of a flush toilet is relatively small, such that the rubber sucker cannot completely cover the drain outlet, which leads to air leakage. When the rubber sucker deforms, an amount of water that is pushed into the drain outlet is insufficient, and water pressure is not significantly increased, thereby affecting the unclogging efficiency. SUMMARY |0003| To solve the above problems, the present disclosure provides a novel toilet plunger. |0004| The technical solution adopted by the present disclosure is as follows: a novel toilet plunger, including a handle, where an end portion of the handle is provided with a flexible conical cylinder, one end of the conical cylinder is provided with an opening, and the other end of conical cylinder is sealed, where the opening is located at a small-diameter end of the conical cylinder. 100051 Further, the sealed end of the conical cylinder is provided with a connecting hole, and a first connecting base is arranged in the connecting hole; the first connecting base includes an extending boss and a sealing plate, where the extending boss is arranged inside the connecting hole, and the sealing plate is located inside the conical cylinder; and a first external thread is arranged on the extending boss, the end portion of the handle is provided with a first internal thread, and the extending boss and the handle are connected through the first internal thread and the first external thread. |0006| Further, a second connecting base is arranged between the handle and the conical cylinder, the second connecting base includes an abutting piece and a connecting boss, the abutting piece abuts against the sealed end of the conical cylinder, a second internal thread is arranged at a center of the abutting piece, and a second external thread is arranged at a top of the connecting boss, where the second internal thread is connected to the first external thread, and the second external thread is connected to the first internal thread. |0007] Further, the handle includes a plurality of short rods connected in a threaded manner. |00081 Compared with the prior art, the present disclosure has the following beneficial effects: |0009| The present disclosure includes the handle and the flexible conical cylinder, the small-diameter end of the conical cylinder is provided with the opening, and the other end of the conical cylinder remains sealed. In use, the small-diameter end of the conical cylinder of the present disclosure can be inserted into a flush hole of a toilet, and then repetitive push-pull movement is performed, to push water into a drain hole continuously by increasing water pressure in the unclogging process, so as to achieve an effect of unclogging the toilet. Further, an outer wall of the conical cylinder better fits with a drain outlet, thereby effectively enhancing the unclogging efficiency of the present disclosure. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS |0010| In order to more clearly describe the technical solutions in the examples of the present disclosure or in the prior art, a brief introduction to the accompanying drawings required for the description of the examples or the prior art will be made below. Apparently, the accompanying drawings in the following description are merely some embodiments of the present disclosure, and those of ordinary skill in the art would also be able to derive other drawings from the structures illustrated in these drawings without making creative efforts. |0011] FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of an explosive structure of the present disclosure. |0012| FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram of an overall structure of the present disclosure. |0013| FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram of a sectional structure of the present disclosure. |0014| Reference numerals of the present disclosure are as follows: |0015] 1. handle; 11. first internal thread; 12. short rod; 2. conical cylinder; 21. opening; 22. connecting hole; 3. first connecting base; 31. extending boss; 311. first external thread; 32. sealing plate; 4. second connecting base; 41. abutting piece; 411. second internal thread; 42. connecting boss; and 421. second external thread; |0016| The realization of the objective, functions, features and advantages of the present disclosure, will be further explained in combination with the embodiments and drawings. DETAILED DESCRIPTIONS OF THE EMBODIMENTS |0017] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present disclosure will be clearly and completely described below in combination with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present disclosure. Apparently, the embodiments described are merely some rather than all of the embodiments of the present disclosure. Based on the embodiments of the present disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without making creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present disclosure. |0018| With reference to FIGs. 1 and 2, the present disclosure proposes a novel toilet plunger. The toilet plunger includes a handle 1, an end portion of the handle 1 is provided with a flexible conical cylinder 2, one end of the conical cylinder 2 is provided with an opening 21, and the other end of the conical cylinder 2 is sealed, where the opening 21 is located at a small-diameter end of the conical cylinder 2. In use, the small-diameter end of the conical cylinder 2 of the present disclosure is inserted into a flush hole of a toilet, and then repetitive push-pull movement is performed, to push water into a drain hole continuously by increasing water pressure, so as to achieve an effect of unclogging the toilet. Further, an outer wall of the conical cylinder 2 better fits with a drain outlet, thereby effectively enhancing the unclogging efficiency of the present disclosure. |0019| As illustrated in FIGs. 1 and 3, the sealed end of the conical cylinder 2 is provided with a connecting hole 22, and a first connecting base 3 is arranged in the connecting hole 22. The first connecting base 3 includes an extending boss 31 and a sealing plate 32, where the extending boss 31 is arranged inside the connecting hole 22, and the sealing plate 32 is located inside the conical cylinder 2. A first external thread 311 is arranged on the extending boss 31, the end portion of the handle 1 is provided with a first internal thread 11, and the extending boss 31 and the handle 1 are connected and fixed through the first internal thread and the first external thread. The sealing plate 32 is configured for sealing the connecting hole 22 to ensure the airtightness inside the conical cylinder 2. Because the conical cylinder 2 is made of a flexible material, the sealing plate 32 is also capable of supporting the sealed end of the conical cylinder 2. |0020| As illustrated in FIGs. 1 and 2, a second connecting base 4 is arranged between the handle 1 and the conical cylinder 2. The second connecting base 4 includes an abutting piece 41 and a connecting boss 42, a second internal thread 411 is arranged at a center of the abutting piece 41, and a second external thread 421 is arranged at a top of the connecting boss 42. The second internal thread 411 is connected to the first external thread 311, and the second external thread 421 is connected to the first internal thread 11. The abutting piece 41 and the sealing plate 32 tightly clamp the sealed end of the conical cylinder 2 through a threaded connection, which enhances the airtightness inside the conical cylinder 2 and ensures a more stable connection between the handle 1 and the conical cylinder 2, thereby ensuring structural stability of the present disclosure during use.

[0021] As illustrated in FIG. 3, the handle 1 in the present disclosure includes a plurality of short rods 12 connected in a threaded manner. A user can select the number of short rods 12 to be spliced together as needed. |0022] What is described above is merely the preferred implementation of the present disclosure, the scope of protection of the present disclosure is not limited to the above embodiments, and all technical solutions following the idea of the present disclosure fall within the scope of protection of the present disclosure.
